Chapter 1239: The Two of Us

Although Nan Jingtian was in a hurry to attend to official business, he did not forget about hosting Wang Jianqiang.

Before returning to his residence, he sent a message to his trusted aide.

The content was very simple.

It was to instruct the aide to arrange a banquet, telling the other party that he needed to handle some urgent matters, and that once he had finished, he would personally host the honored guest.

Only then did he hurriedly return to his residence.

The next day.

The Nan Family began to bustle with activity.

After some preparations, a grand banquet was ready.

It only awaited Nan Jingtian's appearance to preside over the proceedings.

But what was unexpected was...

Nan Jingtian did not appear as promised.

The trusted aide sent a message in anxiety, only to receive a reply filled with excitement and agitation: "Cancel the banquet."

The trusted aide was very surprised.

It was not that he was surprised by Nan Jingtian breaking his word.

Similar things happened often with Nan Jingtian and were long since nothing new.

He was already accustomed to it.

What surprised him was...

When Nan Jingtian replied to cancel the banquet, why was his tone so excited?

What was there to be happy about in canceling a banquet?

The trusted aide did not understand, but his execution was extremely efficient.

Very quickly, the banquet was canceled.

In the time that followed, the Clan Head of the Nan Family and the Matriarch of the Nan Family both disappeared, their whereabouts unknown.

Twenty days later.

Wang Jianqiang stepped back and let out a long breath, "The time is about right."

Nangong Yu was startled, her face full of confusion, "What is about right?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Your father."

Nangong Yu frowned and stood up, "My father? What happened to him?"

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, offering no explanation.

With a wave of his palm, several Jade Bottles appeared before Nangong Yu, "Take these and have your father consume them."

Nangong Yu was stunned, becoming even more confused, "What on earth happened?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Take them to your father first; if you are late, your father will be in a miserable state."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu was alarmed and did not continue to ask.

A Golden Light flashed on her body.

The Golden Treasure Dress appeared on her, and that elegant and noble aura from the past immediately returned.

She gave Wang Jianqiang a strange look, then her figure flashed and she disappeared.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and turned to look at Qin Yun.

Not long after.

Nangong Yu returned.

Wang Jianqiang let go of Qin Yun and came into the main hall.

"How is it? Is your father better now?"

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang sat down on a chair in the main hall.

Qin Yun followed Wang Jianqiang, came behind him, and massaged his shoulders.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Nangong Yu glared at him, "What exactly was that Pill you gave my father that day?"

"Why did he suddenly become so weak?"

"And Mother, it seems she was injured as well."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang explained the effects of the Pill.

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Nangong Yu was dumbfounded.

Qin Yun also had a strange expression on her face.

For a son-in-law to visit the home for the first time, and for the father to actually beg the son-in-law for such a Pill.

That really takes the cake.

But then again.

Given the personalities of Miss Ran and the Clan Head of the Nan Family, it was not surprising that they would do such a thing.

It's just that the result...

If this were to spread, wouldn't it make people laugh their heads off?

"Then the Pill you gave me before was..."

After Nangong Yu came back to her senses, she was lost in thought.

"Of course, it was a Replenishment Pill."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "It is fortunate that I remembered early; if you had gone late, your father would certainly have suffered aftereffects, and I fear he would have become even more cowardly in the future."

Nangong Yu was speechless for a moment, "Since your Pill clearly had such a major drawback, why didn't you give these Replenishment Pills to my father at the same time? You..."

"Could you have done it on purpose to be malicious?"

"How is that possible?"

Wang Jianqiang hurriedly shook his head, "I just forgot at the time."

"Besides, with my character, how could I make such a joke without integrity or limits?"

Nangong Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang silently, did not expose him, and shook her head, "My father is not very broad-minded; I'm afraid he will hold a grudge."

"Hold a grudge?"

Wang Jianqiang laughed.

"You don't believe it?"

Nangong Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang.

"I don't."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Nangong Yu with a smile, "Not only will he not hold a grudge, but he will soon come to continue asking me for a Pill, believe it or not?"

"I don't believe it."

Nangong Yu shook her head.

Her father loved his reputation most of all; having suffered such a great loss this time, if it were to spread, he would certainly lose all face.

How could he not be angry?

Wang Jianqiang smiled faintly, "Since that is the case, let us wait and see."

The next day.

Nangong Yu received a message; she found Wang Jianqiang and said with a solemn expression, "My father is right outside Cuiyu Garden, specifically asking for you."

Speaking to this point, her voice paused, "I suspect my father is here to settle scores with you; why don't you hide here for a while?"

"Without my permission, no matter how angry my father is, he will not force his way into Cuiyu Garden."

"No matter."

Wang Jianqiang smiled faintly and did not heed Nangong Yu's obstruction.

He insisted on leaving the Pavilion where Nangong Yu lived and walked toward the outside of Cuiyu Garden.

Nangong Yu gritted her teeth.

She followed behind Wang Jianqiang with a face full of worry.

Not long after.

The two arrived outside Cuiyu Garden and saw Nan Jingtian waiting outside.

At the same time, Nan Jingtian also saw the two people walking out of Cuiyu Garden.

He immediately greeted them with a face full of enthusiasm, "Little Friend Wang."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Senior looks to be in good condition."

Nan Jingtian grinned and was about to speak, but as if remembering something, he looked at Nangong Yu, "Ahem, Yu'er, you go back first."

Nangong Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang strangely.

It was really as Wang Jianqiang had said; her father seemed to have no intention of causing him trouble.

Looking at it, he seemed even more enthusiastic than before!

Could it be that he really came to ask Wang Jianqiang for a Pill again?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Nan Jingtian again.

She nodded.

She turned and walked into Cuiyu Garden.

After Nangong Yu left.

Nan Jingtian looked around, and seeing that there was no one nearby, he leaned into Wang Jianqiang's ear and chuckled, "Little friend, do you still have that Pill?"

"Can you give me some more?"

"Little friend, rest assured, I won't take them for nothing; I can exchange them with treasures."

Wang Jianqiang pretended to be angry, "Senior, what are you saying? Not to mention my relationship with Yu'er, even judging by Nancheng Kong, we two brothers are not outsiders."

"Just take the Pill; don't mention anything about exchanging."

As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang waved his palm, and more than a dozen Jade Bottles appeared in front of Nan Jingtian.

Nan Jingtian was stunned.

The reason he was stunned was not just because of Wang Jianqiang's generosity, but also because of how Wang Jianqiang addressed him.

Wang Jianqiang was friends with Yu'er and Kong'er.

No matter how you look at it, shouldn't he call him Uncle?

How did it become "we two brothers"?

However, he did not dwell too much on the address.

Wang Jianqiang could discuss as peers with Senior Xuanyi of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, a Great Vehicle Cultivator.

All things considered.

He didn't lose out; in fact, he even took advantage of the situation.

It wasn't unacceptable.

Thinking of this.

He immediately came back to his senses and happily collected all the Pills in front of him.

A look of heartfelt gratitude appeared on his face.

"Many thanks, brother."
